Fifth IEEE International Ph.D. Workshop on Multimedia Computing Research (MCR 2016)

The 2016 IEEE Ph.D. Workshop is an international forum for doctoral students in the field of Multimedia Computing. The workshop provides Ph.D. students with the opportunity to present, discuss, and receive feedback on their research in a constructive atmosphere. The workshop will include prominent researchers from the industry and academia, who will participate actively in the discussions. This is the fifth installment of the workshop, which was previously held in Irvine, California, USA (2012); Anaheim, California, USA (2013); Taichung, Taiwan (2014); and Miami, Florida, USA (2015).

We particularly encourage submissions from students who are in the final stages of their doctoral work, and who can therefore present a relatively complete picture of their dissertations, as well as students who are in the early stages of their work and thus have a significant future work component. The former group will have the opportunity to showcase their doctoral work to a wider audience in preparation for job search, whereas the latter can obtain valuable feedback about their research plans.
